Letter From the Editor:

Father’s day is upon us, and for a lot of guys, dad is the hardest person to shop for. Thankfully, Styleforum is here to help. This month, Jason Francis walks you through how to pick the perfect bottle of Scotch to give to dad. Not a whisky fan? No worries! We’ve teamed up with huckberry.com to make sure you can find the perfect gift, no matter dad’s tastes. Plus, read about Styleforum’s summer travel plans - Italy and Japan beckon, and we rise to the call.

Thing is, Dear Reader, Father’s Day might be a tough day for you, the same way that Mother’s Day can be a tough day. Whoever you are, whatever your circumstances, don’t forget to take care of yourself this spring. Whether that means going fishing and enjoying a drink with your dad, taking your kids to the zoo, or giving yourself a gift from our sweet Huckberry gift guide - or from one of our wonderful affiliates, it’s up to you. But most of all, you do you, Styleforum. We’ll help you look good while doing it.
